Every year at December, we at Israel ( and at some other points of the year, over the world.. ) have to rebase some calendar appointments..

This entry is not about daylight saving bashing 😉 but just a note to anyone that will use the Exchange Calendar Update Tool against Exchange 2010 mailboxes and servers.

I did not had enough time to actually find out why and what is the appropriate fix for this, but here’s a workaround for the error and the empty result when extracting the mailboxes from the servers..

If you will examine the logs in the msextmz extract log, when trying to search for the mailboxes on the required servers, you will notice that the output will be empty, and zero mailboxes will be reported.

needless to say that this obviously eliminates the possibility for extracting timezones from the mailboxes – i will not cover this issue, because in Israel we need to rebase the appointments just to reflect the current daylight saving durations..
